Just announced: UMass will be hosting its regional against Boston University, Long Island University and #13 Arizona State. Third straight year of hosting these Pac-10 teams. Time to take one of them down.

Edit: Fordham travels to Maryland to play in their regional along with #14 Oklahoma and Syracuse. Only the second Fordham team to receive an at large bid to any NCAA tournament in any sport.

Good news. We host a regional. Arizona State (seeded #13), Boston Univ. and LIU also in our regional.

This is about as good of a draw as we can get. It's going to come down to how it plays out on the field

There are going to be quite a few HRs in this regional

Just to clarify ... UMass plays Long Island in the opening round; BU gets the Sun Devils.

I saw somewhere that Texas changes the color of the lights shining on their library after a big win - I think doing that at WEB would be amazing. Now getting UMass to do something like that... yeaaa
